Welcome to Applied Automation Technologies, Inc.

AAT is a global technology software company with offices and representatives around the world. We develop universal metrology and automation software products that programs and works on any dimensional measuring as well as manufacturing machines. Our suite of software products are used by many machine manufacturers for new machines and also updated to existing older model machines. AAT is committed to innovation and has been the leader in metrology software UX, system controller interfaces, closed-loop manufacturing with metrology feedback and reporting.

For our users who are not familiar with our CAPPSNC product we are providing an overview of how companies around the world are now utilizing the extensive feature set provided by CAPPSNC to improve CNC metrology.

Our CAPPS (Computer Aided Part Programming Software) can be universally applied to all Coordinate Measuring Machines, Portable Arm machines as well as make any manufacturing machine to function like a CMM. This allows companies to have a single user interface, programming environment and measurement database to be used from Quality Control to On Machine 'Adaptive Manufacturing' applications. CappsDmis has plug and play interfaces with most of the CMM controllers, can work with multi sensor applications such as analog scanning, vision sensors as well as non-contact laser scanners. CappsNC having the same user interface can program any NC machine with multi degree of kinematic configurations with same DMIS native programming language but still interface with the machine tool controller in its own interface protocol.

30 Years of Innovation in Metrology Software

We have been committed to innovation from our companies inception in 1987. Our first commercial product, EDGES was the first 3D graphical DMIS program simulation and editing software. CAPPS was the first online CMM software with 3D graphics user interface with CAD capability. Our CappsNC software brought the CMM measurement capability directly to machine tools in the early 1990s. Our NCFIT is a revolutionary software which adapts NC cutting programs to measurement data including point cloud surface profile measurements.

Global Development

AAT is a global company with growing local office and company presence as well as strong strategic partners in many territories. We understand and believe in the strategic importance of the software products we supply and how critical it is to provide direct and immediate technical support.

Retrofits

In addition to having many plug & play controller interfaces, we offer several controller retrofits for old or outdated controllers. The Renishaw UCC2 is a universal CMM controller suitable for touch-trigger, analog scanning, non-contact laser scanning applications. UCC controllers also allows upgrades to 5 axis probing technology with the PH20 and Revo 5 axis touch probe and scanning heads. Pantec controllers can also be used for retrofits and has multi axis multi sensor capability including 4 axis scanning. With Deva Electronics motion cards, we can offer very powerful yet inexpensive retrofit packages.

We can modernize your old manual machine with new interface electronics. With a new USB interface box and our CappsDMIS software, your machine will become like new with advanced software capabilities for any measurement applications.

Our measurement software are compatible with all the state of the art probe and probe-heads. We can upgrade your machines with a probe-head and probes suitable for your application. PH10, PH20, Revo, and analog scanning probes as well as styli can purchased directly from us.

We can refurbish your old CMM with complete new scales, electronics and probing systems that fits your application. Our calibration engineers can certify your machine to get the accuracy specified for your machine.

Machines

AAT is the North American distributor for the Chienwei CMM machines. With Chienwei AAT offers new machines for many applications and in different configurations. All local distributors and system integrators are invited to review and get product details for their unique projects.

We have a number of demo machines available for purchase. These machines have been acquired by us as new and only used for demonstrations and development purposes with very little hours. They can be configured with any probe, sensor and controller configuration. Please call AAT for a list of available machines and to get a quote.
